Wednesday night karaoke it's awesome! Great host! Great bartender! You should check it out every Wednesday 8pm-12am

Love this place the bar staff ,Charlie and the owner Carla are always attending and pleasant with me and others it's like a family corner bar where everyone knows one another and enjoy a cocktail ..would recommend this place to all and they also have great bands on Friday and Saturday nights ..thanks for the great service
Great place for solid drinks. 3 pool tables, shuffleboard, darts. The owner was behind the bar and very friendly and attentive. We've been looking for a local watering hole and we found it.
We made a baby and a babysitter there. Great place. My three favorite bartenders at Kelsey Charli and Carla.
The bartender was fantastic! The bar was a little boring I think cause it has no dance floor or had a band on a saturday night. However the bartender was super chill and made us laugh. For a party of 12 she did amazing! I plan to go out on my birthday there. Thank you to those who gave my mom a wonderful birthday!!!!!
I had a great time watching the band Black Diamond Loons when they were there. I think if I had a recording of all the songs they played that night, it would be in my car cd player still playing everywhere I go. The entire staff, and all the people I met there were very friendly! Overall excellent experience.
Friendly Southside bar full of regulars that has been around for years. The bar hosts pool leagues also. Remember that the bar is cash only though.
